Why Use BlooTrue for Facebook on Blogger?

The cleanest free way to put Facebook reviews on your Blogger blog — Facebook itself doesn't offer an embed, and Blogger has no third-party app store.

Fills Facebook's Missing Embed

Facebook doesn't publish an official embed widget for merchants. The Blogger HTML/JavaScript Layout gadget is the cleanest way to surface a free Facebook Page's reviews — BlooTrue is the paste-and-go widget that fills that gap.

No Blogger App Store Install

Blogger has no third-party app marketplace. BlooTrue is a pure HTML embed — paste into the Layout HTML/JavaScript gadget or into a post via HTML view. No install pipeline to navigate.

Sitewide via Layout, or Inline Per-Post

The Layout gadget approach shows your Facebook reviews on every blog page (sidebar / footer / header) in one paste. Or paste inline inside a single post via the editors HTML view.

No Facebook API Key Required

Works with any public Facebook Page. No Facebook Fusion application, no API quotas, no business-level claim required.

What makes a Facebook widget different from a Google review widget?

Facebook's recommendation system works differently from star-based platforms like Google. Knowing how recommendations become stars, and how Page moderation works, avoids surprises after you embed.

How BlooTrue turns Facebook recommendations into star ratings

Facebook retired numeric star ratings in 2018. Instead, visitors tap Recommends or Doesn't recommend and write a short comment, and the Page shows a percentage of people who recommend it. BlooTrue normalizes that into the star format your other widgets use: each “Recommends” renders as a 5-star review, each “Doesn't recommend” as 1 star, and the Page's overall recommendation percentage becomes a clean 0–5 star header rating. The result is a Facebook widget that looks and reads exactly like your Google or Yelp widget — no confusing percentages on your site. The header rating always comes from Facebook's own published aggregate, never from averaging the individual cards.

Where the recommendations come from and how often they refresh

BlooTrue fetches the publicly-visible recommendations from your Facebook Page on a server-side schedule — roughly once every 24 hours on paid plans — and caches the result. Your site never calls Facebook directly, so visitor traffic to your page doesn't depend on Facebook being reachable, and the widget loads instantly from cache. Only recommendations that are public on your Page are included; anything set to private or hidden by the Page owner is never pulled. Each recommendation keeps its reviewer name, photo, and comment, and links back to your Facebook Page.

Turning on recommendations and what shows up in the widget

Recommendations only appear if your Page has the Reviews / Recommendations section enabled and public. If your Page is brand new or has recommendations switched off, there's nothing for the widget to import yet — turn the section on in your Page settings and the widget will populate as soon as your first public recommendation lands. Once enabled, the widget shows whatever your Page shows publicly: no more, no less. If a recommendation disappears from your widget after a sync, it almost always means the reviewer deleted it or Facebook removed it — the widget simply follows your Page's public state.

Moderation, Community Standards, and attribution

Facebook moderates recommendations under its Community Standards and removes spam, hate speech, and content that violates its policies. Because BlooTrue reads only your Page's public recommendations, the widget automatically reflects those removals on the next sync — you never display content Facebook has already taken down. Every card keeps the Facebook mark and the reviewer's name, and clicking a review links back to your Facebook Page, so attribution stays intact. BlooTrue never fabricates a rating: an empty “Recommends” with no comment is still shown as a real recommendation, and the header number is always Facebook's own aggregate.

Facebook tips for Blogger

Blogger's HTML/JavaScript gadget renders the Facebook widget — paste the snippet inside the gadget and save.
If you embed the Facebook widget inside a Blogger post, the widget appears in the post body only (not in the post excerpt on archive pages).
Facebook's widget loads after Blogger's post-loaded JavaScript so it never conflicts with Blogger's sharing buttons.

How Do I Install BlooTrue Facebook on Blogger?

Two placement modes, both under a minute. No coding, no app install, no Facebook API key.

Build your widget on this page

Use the BlooTrue builder on this page. Paste your Facebook Page URL (e.g. facebook.com/yourpage-slug) and your real reviews load automatically into the live preview.

No sign-up, no Facebook API key, no business-level claim required.

Customize the Look

Pick one of 100+ styles (Slider, Marquee, Grid, List, Masonry, Badge, Compact Badge), choose light or dark theme, set your accent color, and toggle reviewer names / dates / profile images on or off.

Copy the Embed Code

Publish and copy the embed code. The embed is a single HTML snippet — no Blogger app install (Blogger has no app store), no theme-XML edits.

Paste into Blogger — Two Placement Modes

Sitewide (Layout HTML/JavaScript gadget — recommended): In your Blogger dashboard, open Layout. Click Add a Gadget in the sidebar, footer, or header region. From the gadget list pick HTML/JavaScript. Paste the embed code into the content box (you can leave the title blank or set one like "See us on Facebook"), and click Save. Your Facebook reviews now appear on every page of the blog.

Inline (single post via HTML view): Open Posts → Edit on the post you want to add reviews to. In the editor toolbar, find the Compose / HTML view toggle in the top-left and switch to HTML view. Paste the embed code where you want the widget to appear in the post body. Click Save or Publish directly from HTML view, then view the live post.

Blogger quirk to know: The Compose view sometimes auto-escapes HTML when you switch back to it from HTML view — only sometimes, which makes it confusing. The safe pattern is: stay in HTML view after pasting, save / publish from HTML view, view the post to confirm the widget renders, and only then optionally switch back to Compose. The Layout gadget approach above does not have this issue because gadgets do not have a Compose mode.

Reviews auto-sync from Facebook every 24 hours.

Facebook Review Widget for Blogger — Free, Fills Facebook's Embed Gap

BlooTrue's Facebook Review Widget for Blogger is a free embed that displays your Facebook reviews on any Blogger blog (.blogspot.com or custom-domain) via the Layout HTML/JavaScript gadget or by switching a post to HTML view. Facebook does not provide an official embed widget for merchants — its Fusion API is gated for partner apps. The Blogger HTML/JavaScript Layout gadget is the cleanest way to surface a free Facebook Page's reviews on a blog, and BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Facebook business page and turning them into a paste-ready Blogger embed. The Blogger free plan supports this fully — there is no upgrade, no premium tier, and no third-party Blogger app store install because Blogger has no marketplace. The Layout gadget approach places the widget sitewide (sidebar / footer / header) in one paste and avoids the editor-state quirk where Bloggers Compose view can auto-escape pasted HTML when you toggle back from HTML view. The inline post-HTML approach is for cases where you only want reviews to appear inside one specific article — paste while in HTML view, save from HTML view, then view the live post. Schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD is added on top of Bloggers stock theme schema (Article, BlogPosting) — cleanly, without conflict — giving your blog two independent structured-data signals on the same page.

Why doesn't Facebook have an official embed for Blogger?

Facebook's Fusion API is positioned as a partner-channel product (used by sites like Apple Maps and Trivago) rather than as a merchant self-service product. Facebook does not publish a paste-ready embed widget the way Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets pasted into Bloggers HTML/JavaScript Layout gadget are the standard way Blogger blogs surface their Facebook reviews — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.

About Facebook reviews in this widget

The Facebook widget embeds the recommendations left on your Facebook Page. Facebook retired star ratings for Pages in 2018, so there is no native Facebook star average; the widget shows each Recommends as a 5-star card and turns the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure for the header, both read from your Page. A customer leaves a recommendation by tapping Recommends or Doesn't recommend and writing a comment, which only works once Reviews are switched on in your Page settings. Many owners reach for Facebook's Page Plugin instead, an iframe of your timeline with no way to feature recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Facebook only lets people click Recommends, so what rating does my widget display?

Facebook dropped numeric stars for Pages in 2018, so the widget does not invent a Facebook star average. Each Recommends becomes a 5-star card, and the header converts the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure. Both come from your Page, not from a calculation over the cards on your site.

Can I use Facebook's own Page Plugin to embed my recommendations?

No. The Page Plugin drops your whole Page timeline into an iframe and has no setting to show only recommendations, and Facebook's own tools cannot place them on an external site at all. The BlooTrue builder takes your Page URL instead and gives you a one-line embed, with no Facebook ad spend and no plugin required.

My Page has no Reviews tab, so where would the recommendations come from?

They only exist once you turn them on: open your Facebook Page settings, find the Reviews or Recommendations option and switch it on. Until then customers cannot tap Recommends and the builder finds nothing to import. A free widget holds the recommendations found that day; paid plans check the Page daily and drop the BlooTrue badge.

Is the BlooTrue Facebook widget free for Blogger?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Blogger. Blogger itself is free, and BlooTrue adds no fee on top — no app install (Blogger has no third-party app store), no monthly cost, unlimited views, no credit card. The free plan shows your Facebook reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

What is the difference between Layout placement and Post-HTML placement on Blogger?

Layout placement uses Bloggers built-in HTML/JavaScript gadget (Layout → Add a Gadget → HTML/JavaScript) and shows the widget sitewide in a region you choose — sidebar, footer, header. Post-HTML placement pastes the embed inside a single blog post by switching the post editor from Compose to HTML view. Use Layout when you want every visitor to see your Facebook reviews on every page; use Post HTML when you only want reviews to appear inside one specific article.

Why does my Facebook embed disappear after I switch back to Compose view?

Bloggers Compose view sometimes auto-escapes HTML when you switch back from HTML view — converting your <script> and <div> tags into plain text. It does this only sometimes, which makes the bug confusing. Fix: stay in HTML view after pasting, save / publish from HTML view, then view the live post. The Layout HTML/JavaScript gadget approach avoids this issue entirely because gadgets do not have a Compose mode.

Does Facebook offer its own embed widget for Blogger?

No. Facebook does not provide an official embed widget for businesses to display their reviews on a Blogger blog. Facebook's Fusion API is gated and primarily intended for partner apps, not merchant self-embeds. The HTML/JavaScript Layout gadget is the cleanest way to surface a free Facebook Page's reviews on Blogger — BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Facebook business page and turning them into a paste-ready embed.

Do I need a Facebook API key or Facebook Fusion access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public Facebook Page — no Facebook API key, no Facebook Fusion application, no business-level claim required. Just paste your facebook.com/yourpage-slug URL into the BlooTrue builder (pick any style on this page to open it).

Does BlooTrue work on .blogspot.com and Blogger custom domains? Compatible with Contempo, Soho, Emporio?

Yes to both. The widget is a pure client-side HTML embed and works identically whether your blog lives at yourname.blogspot.com or on a custom domain mapped through Blogger Settings. It works in every Blogger theme — modern themes (Contempo, Soho, Emporio, Notable), classic themes (Simple, Picture Window, Awesome Inc., Watermark, Ethereal, Travel, Dynamic Views), and any custom XML theme.

Will the widget slow down my Blogger blog or hurt SEO?

No on both. The widget loads asynchronously, the script is under 20KB, and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical Largest Contentful Paint impact is under 50ms. For SEO, BlooTrue layers schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD on top of Bloggers stock theme schema (Article, BlogPosting) — cleanly, without conflict — making your Blogger pages eligible for star rich snippets in Google search.
